Most toy shops/ stationery shops/ gift shops in Israel that carry costumes in the month leading up to Purim will have IDF costumes.

I actually just did a search in Hebrew and even the Israeli sites have a very poor selection right now. I think you need to wait a month at least to start looking.

In Israel the shopping season for Purim doesn't start in earnest until after tu bishvat. And this year there's an extra month in between.

OP, I don't think this is a good time to dress your children up as soldiers. Firstly, there's a war going on, soldiers are endangering their lives and being murdered. There's nothing cute about an IDF costume - it's something that triggers alot of emotion for many people. Secondly there's a lot of anti-semitism around and you don't need your kids to be targeted verbally or physically.
If they want to be soldiers dress them up as American soldiers.

I disagree. Could be it's location-dependent. I'm in Israel and I'm sure that tons of kids will be dressing as chayalim this Purim. They are our heroes!

You do you.
And the point on antisemitism makes no sense...it's literally purim...anyone who is dressed up as anything is a target. If you are so concerned don't dress up at all.

I hope you live in an area with no non Jews because this comment is ignorant . Non Jews don’t necessarily know about Purim so princesses and Cookie Monster can be seen as adorable year round. IDF costumes can absolutely incite hate among those who don’t support there war.

Many non jews know it's purim. I don't know where you live but where I do they certainly know. When do tons of people walk around in costumes on a random day? And an idf costume is not so obviously different than any other soldier unless someone is looking very closely. In that vain nobody should wear magen David's, yarmulka, tzitzis, or anything else that flags them as a jew.

IDF tshirt is totally different than religious garb so I hope you’re right. You know your neighborhood best

I live in Israel and my 4 year old is dressing up as a chayal. My friends have told me that all of their sons want to be chayalim this year - it's going to be very popular!
All the costumes stores have chayalim costumes. I bought one for 70 shekalim.
